The Kansas City Zoo will be the site of an upcoming walk being offered by the 50 Plus Department of the Johnson County Park and Recreation District in late April.

The program is called Take a Walk on the Wild Side and will take place on April 25. This walk is expected to require an easy level of exertion.

50 plus walks are led by Instructor Sherry Hughes. This program will depart at 9 a.m. from Antioch Park, 6501 Antioch, Merriam. In case of rain, the walk will be rescheduled for the following week. The cost for one five-hour outing, including van transportation to the walk site and zoo admission, is $20 per person for Johnson County residents or $22 for nonresidents. Participants should bring a sack lunch or purchase lunch at the zoo. Search for the keyword "outdoors" to find this program in the JCPRD's Activities Catalog and online listings.

While the JCPRD's 50 Plus programs are primarily for people who are age 50 or older, interested parties who have not yet reached that magic age may still be able to attend. Persons 18 and older who are interested in a 50 Plus class are invited to call the District's Registration Department at (913) 831-3359, and if space is available without forfeiting the place of a person over 50, their registration can be taken.

The JCPRD's ACTIVITIES catalog, with information and a registration form, is available for pick-up at all Johnson County Library branches. For more information or to register, call (913) 831-3359 VOICE or (913) 831-3342 TDD. To register online and for updated program listings, visit the District's website at www.jcprd.com
